Fine Tuning
A slight correction of the setting of the
high speed screw (H) may be necessary
if engine power is not satisfactory when
operating at high altitude or at sea level.
Rule of thumb
:
Turn the high speed screw (H)
about one quarter turn for every
3300 ft (1000 m) change in altitude.
:
Carry out the standard setting.
:
Warm up the engine for about
3 minutes.
:
Open the throttle wide.

At high altitude
:
Turn the high speed screw (H)
clockwise (leaner), no further than
stop, until there is no noticeable
increase in engine speed.
At sea level
:
Turn the high speed screw (H)
counterclockwise (richer), no further
than stop, until there is no
noticeable increase in engine
speed.
It is possible that maximum engine
speed may be reached with the
standard setting in each case.
Adjusting Idle Speed
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA)
after every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
:
Warm up engine for about
3 minutes.
Engine stops while idling
:
Turn idle speed screw (LA) slowly
clockwise until the engine runs
smoothly – chain must not rotate.
